First, let's find the sum of your four quizzes (a+b+c+d):
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28a%2Bb%2Bc%2Bd%29%2F4+=+82\" The average of the first four quizzes is 82.
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2Bb%2Bc%2Bd+=+328\" Now let's call the score on your fifth quiz, x, so...
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28328%2Bx%29%2F5+=+85\" Multiply by 5.
\n" ); document.write( "\"328%2Bx+=+425\" Subtract 328.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+97\"
\n" ); document.write( "You will need to get 97 on your next quiz to attain an overall average of 85.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
